Scope and Mission

MJPHM aims to advance public health knowledge and practice in Malaysia through the publication of rigorous, ethically conducted research. The journal particularly encourages submissions that address public health challenges specific to the Malaysian context, including tropical and infectious diseases, the epidemiological transition toward chronic non-communicable diseases, healthcare delivery in a multi-ethnic society, and the environmental determinants of health in a rapidly developing economy.

The journal has published research on topics as diverse as the health impacts of haze episodes in Southeast Asia, tuberculosis control programmes, diabetes self-management, maternal health outcomes, occupational safety, and traditional medicine practices. Its readership includes public health practitioners, clinicians, academics, policymakers, and postgraduate students engaged in health-related research and practice.

Publication History

MJPHM has published continuously since its founding, with volumes spanning from the early 2000s to the present. The journal issues regular volumes as well as special supplements, often in conjunction with national or international public health conferences held in Malaysia. These supplement issues have addressed focused themes such as occupational health, environmental epidemiology, and health systems strengthening.
